It was a quick radio interview spot, one among about 6 she did in a short time frame.

No excuse for being shallow. One can be brief and not shallow.

I don’t see anybody critiquing any of the other potential nominees...

Although I can't speak for "anybody," I can for myself. I said, "We should be demanding more of all the candidates, not excusing their weaknesses."

Adding here that we are two years out from the next presidential election. I am keeping an open mind. Anyone who takes the next presidential election seriously will do the same until primary season. Not only making a candidate selection now, but becoming the worst kind of blind fanboy or fangirl this early reveals a narrow, closed mind. There are other conservatives who might become candidates. I want to hear from them all before making my choice.

At present, I see Palin as a shallow, glib gadfly celebrity. I'm one voter who wants to see genuine substance in any candidate I support. It's a candidate's responsibility to demonstrate it, not mine (or any voter's) responsibility to excuse their lack of it.

“No excuse for being shallow. One can be brief and not shallow.”

The answers weren’t shallow, they were shortened due to the length of the radio interview. That’s not an excuse, that is an accurate observation. The answers were fine and will be more detailed once the campaign and announcement begin.

“Adding here that we are two years out from the next presidential election. I am keeping an open mind. Anyone who takes the next presidential election seriously will do the same until primary season.”

Well, people who are tuned in to politics can see that the GOP Primary will come down to Palin and RINO Romney, so for conservatives the choice is an easy one.

“At present, I see Palin as a shallow, glib gadfly celebrity.”

Your opinion is a minority one among conservatives and your welcome to that opinion.
